1Time at the Currie Cup Final

A little late after the event but thought it worth saying well done to the chaps at 1T for the flypast at the Currie Cup final on the week end. The timing was absolutely impeccable- just seconds before kick off. Haven’t heard many people mention it though which is a bit strange, makes one wonder if these types of PR exercises work?

Just out of interest, does anybody know if this kind of participation by airlines at public events(excluding airshows) takes place in other western countries and if so, to what extent? I think it's great and is an awesome demonstration of that unique South African spirit, but I've heard mixed feelings on the issue from one or two airline guys, particularly concerning the low(ish) level formations. Anybody have any thoughts on the matter?
